Our Mission

Alaska State Defense Force seal

 

The Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF) is an all-volunteer organization and is considered part of Alaska’s Organized Militia. Alaska Statute 26.05.100 states “during the time that the Alaska National Guard or the Alaska Naval Militia, or any part of either of them, is not available to the state by reason of active federal service, or the National Guard or Naval Militia requires augmentation to perform its state mission, the governor may activate the Alaska State Defense Force.”

Chaplaincy

Chaplaincy is an important and essential mission of the ASDF. The importance of Chaplaincy is magnified in times of disaster or war. Chaplaincy provides support to members of the ASDF and their families. Our Chaplaincy is highly trained in Critical Stress Management and can also minister to victims and first responders in an extremely meaningful way. Our Chaplaincy has provided training and help in the important field of Suicide Prevention. Our Chaplains have presided over many military funerals.
